What do you do when your mind is an illegible land? / I find praying is the best place to start.
In the living room, Light low, Surrounded by conversation, Sporadically joining— The thoughts crept in of him And the words I said. The futures that align In dreams— But do they in calling? there is someone out there Better for him. Not because I am belittling Myself, just because his love should be returned Tenfold. As I think, the voices Rejoin my headspace, The exterior conversation. Radiation mentioned. Chernobyl. chernobyl. Why did that word, That event, have to come up now? These characters on TV, This show I just resumed In the absence of voices, The end of a conversation, they bring one another To meet their friends. They get along. They click. It isn’t as hard as this. is it all too forced? There is fighting for it, Repairing, working it out, And there is futile effort. there is disobedience To a future calling He has meticulously planned.

Chernobyl
A meltdown as I searched, The minute turning 12:00, High hopes, high hopes— Where was it? Descended into nonsense. My leftover Thai food. The tears began to fall. I sounded like a whiny child. It wasn’t the food, was it? It was another nose Of another bottle, bursting From the pressure. Crying for no reason. Treating my mum unfairly. As if I were a puppet Masking my own stress. I did not yell, I just cried. I felt senseless and uncontrolled. God, help stabilise me.

leftover thai food
I can convince myself Of a lot of things. I can hyper analyse Until I see the sense. It may be unpleasant But it is better Than no answer, Or holding falsity. But there are two things I cannot puzzle out. My Savior’s love, and his. When will it stop? I hold my intuition. Am I simply Romanticising it— This space between. Did I make him up? Did he make me up? Are we both holding Onto the versions We imagined?

a puzzle
At my breaking point It’s okay It’s okay It’s okay Distraction was key. But as they pulled out, Scraped my car, it wasn’t okay anymore. Barely noticeable, A scratch I will tell No one about. I let them go. As they swept across my car But “didn’t feel anything.” It’s okay It’s okay It’s okay Have to dry my eyes. Worst day to not Wear makeup. I couldn’t speak. I simply broke. I feel weak. I want him. I can’t. It’s okay It’s okay It’s okay God hold me

its okay
I shake until I create. Yet I feel underqualified To make anything of value. The originality escapes me. I sit and I stare-- I dwell and I overcomplicate. I ignore Your hand. I take Your gifts for granted. I shrink myself for others, As if I were helping them. Yet, I shake nonetheless. The need to create-- It pervades me.

the Need
caught his hand. caught his eye. I just want more of You, God. I want You. I want You. take the trip wires. help me stand. I just want more of You, God. I want More. I want More. hold him close. wrap me up warm. I just want more of You, God. I want You. I want You. I want You, More.

want You, More
The mirages shift in semblance, The angles, the blocks of color, They become translucent, refracting, Handling light with care and chaos. I stand in the center, eyes open, Feeling each beam of shifting ray Splice my bones, my internal world, Eating away the skin around my heart Until every atom has become altered. Only one unchanged Home remains, The Center where He resides, In the atrium and the ventricles, the ***** He will always claim.

in a Prism
I search for Your pillar of fire, yet I find only a cloud. A request to Rest, here, now, no more walking forward. “There is time, Child.” “Rest your legs, your eyes, Let the beat of your heart slow in my hands As you rest under my Shade.”

Fire or Cloud?
Where do I start when my feet are already bare, my throat sore and raw, my mind a desert of asphalt-- Where do I start when the novelty has worn off, the rags used for bandages, just strips from my t-shirt-- Where do I start when my chest is a loading screen, my brows heavy from determination, my anxiety overrun by truth-- Where do I start when I am whole and broken, a vase simply glued back together, just a semblance of propriety-- Where do I start when words no longer join, my skills have rusted and worn, my hands shake with hesitation-- Where do I start when the joy has increased along with the despair and sorrow, the rightness and grief intermingled-- Lord, I ask-- Where Do I Start?

where do I start?
A run in my pillowcase, My legs stretching below me, Only in my mind, only in my eyes, Over the uneven surfaces, The splodgy bumps on the wall— The paint that tries to cover it. I cannot cover the errors. The snags in my soul. I know the One who sees them And chooses to reweave Every strand of tangled hair, Put each thread in its place, His Masterpiece without fault.
